May 31, The Daily Sports reported that Barcelona is seeking to loan Manchester United striker Rashford as an alternative to being unable to introduce Louis Dias.

After Barcelona met with Rashford's agent, both parties were positive, but the difficulty of the transaction was to convince Manchester United to accept loans rather than transfers directly.

Barcelona hopes to sign Rashford on a paid rental basis with a buyout clause. The possible solution is to pay a loan fee of 5 million to 10 million euros and bear its annual salary of about 10 million euros, with optional buyout at the end of the 25-26 season.

Manchester United insists on the form of a direct transfer of about €40 million, as Rashford is a youth training player, the transaction will bring net benefits.

Rashford is willing to reduce his salary significantly and join Barcelona, ​​and money is not the primary consideration. If Manchester United agrees to release the person, it may be later in the transfer window and Rashford needs to refuse other offers. If Barcelona cannot reach an agreement, they will consider left-wing players such as Koeman or Martinelli.
